Heydon, John, 1629- · 1662 · London : Printed by T.M. for Samuel Ferris, and are to be sold at his shop in Cannon-Street neer London-Stone, 1662. · 10 pictures

A 1662 London book by John Heydon, a gentleman writer, offering a mystical and astrological guide to health, long life and knowledge, printed for Samuel Ferris for a general readership interested in occultism. The pictures are mostly plain typographic matter: a title with a decorative fleuron border, repeated ornamental rule bands, and a dense page of text with a worn, stained edge, suggesting a designer might borrow the strip ornaments and the heavy seventeenth-century page texture.
